Texans HC DeMeco Ryans praises RB Woody Marks' development in camp
Summary

Houston Texans head coach DeMeco Ryans reported positive developments from running back Woody Marks during training camp on August 19, 2026. Ryans noted that Marks has shown increased confidence and improved route running since OTAs. Despite being a backup to David Montgomery this season, Marks is expected to contribute significantly to the offense alongside Montgomery, who has joined the team via trade. This duo could enhance the Texans' rushing performance, which struggled last year. Marks led the Texans in rushing as a rookie with 703 yards and two touchdowns but will now share the backfield duties.
